Yellow Ribbon

Veterans Programs

Veterans entitled to post-9/11 Chapter 33 GI Bill® at 100% may be eligible to participate
in the Yellow Ribbon Program.

Defiance College has elected to participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program to make additional
funds available for your education program without an additional charge to your GI
Bill® entitlement.

Institutions that voluntarily enter into a Yellow Ribbon Agreement with VA choose
the amount of tuition and fees that will be contributed. VA will match that amount
and issue payment directly to the institution.

YELLOW RIBBON ELIGIBILITY

Only veterans entitled to the maximum benefit rate (based on service requirements)
or their designated transferees may receive this funding. Active duty service members
and their spouses are not eligible for this program (child transferees of active duty
service members may be eligible if the service member is qualified at the 100% rate).

Therefore, you may be eligible if:

You served an aggregate period of active duty after September 10, 2001, of at least
36 months.

You were honorably discharged from active duty for a service connected disability
and you served 30 continuous days after September 10, 2001.

You are a dependent eligible for Transfer of Entitlement under the Post-9/11 GI Bill® based
on a veteran’s service under the eligibility criteria listed above.

Additionally, prospective students must meet all requirements for admission to Defiance
College and must submit all application materials.
